safety and efficacy evaluation of bosutinib plus atezolizumab in newly diagnosed chronic leukemia adult patients

Conditions: Chronic Phase-Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Summary: the combination of bosutinib plus atezolizumab in first line treatment in newly diagnosis chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (cml) patients could potentially increase molecular responses and therefore treatment discontinuation probabilities in these patients. we propose an open-label phase ib/ii study of bosutinib in combination with atezolizumab for the treatment of new diagnosis chronic phase-chronic myeloid leukemia patients.

(qtcf should not exceed 500 msec), 11. grade iii or iv fluid retention, 12. uncontrolled hypomagnesemia or uncorrected symptomatic hypokalemia, due to potential effects on the qtc interval, 13. uncontrolled or symptomatic hypercalcemia, 14. recent or ongoing clinically significant gastrointestinal (gi) disorder e.g. crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis or prior total or partial gastrectomy, 15. autoimmune or infectious active disease that require treatment, 16. cml patient not in chronic phase at diagnosis, 17. patients with known atypical transcript. an atypical transcript is defined by the presence of any transcript in the absence of the major transcripts b3a2 (e14a2) and b2a2 (e13a2) or p210 protein, 18. patients with known resistant mutation(s) (t315i, e255k/v, y253h, f359c/v). it is not necessary to perform mutation tests on the patient to be included in the study if they were not previously performed, 19. individuals with an active malignancy, 20. known seropositivity to human immunodeficiency virus (hiv), current acute or chronic hepatitis b (hepatitis b surface-antigen positive) and/or hepatitis c. 21. any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug. 22. patients with severe renal impairment
